“…Deletion mutations in the c-myc 5'UTR, which are present in several Burkitt lymphomas (resulting from translocation of the c-myc gene), result in enhanced translation of the c-Myc mRNA (Saito et al, 1983;Darveau et al, 1985;Parkin et al, 1988;Carter et al, 1999;Willis, 1999). cmyc is implicated in several biological processes such as cell growth, proliferation and apoptosis (reviewed in Gartel and Shchors, 2003;Hermeking, 2003;Levens, 2003;Pelengaris and Khan, 2003).…”
